Rolex has been the pre-eminent symbol of performance and prestige for over a century when it comes to watches. When people of the world were asked to name their favorite brand, for the majority of the immediate reply was Rolex. It has been a choice of many famous celebrities from Hollywood to Bollywood and prominent people.

I have been so blessed and so grateful to be able to indulge in my passions. I’ve been buying watches like Tag heuer, Tissot & Rado since I started working. I’ve waited so many years since I finally decided to buy Rolex.

Last week, my family & I went to Singapore for a holiday vacation, while inside the mall, The Rolex Authorized Dealer said that, “It’s the right time for you to buy a Rolex because the prices are increasing every year.” That feeling of being capable of buying it Rolex was amazing! I didn’t lose the opportunity to fulfill another dream. It’s time to spend my own hard-earned money on something that is so precious!

*After 9 hrs flight, more than 30hrs of being awake, no make-up at all, this is me around 1pm…

*….and this is me around 5pm, after 3cups of coffee, after 4hrs of sitting there.

Went to Tony & Jackey Salon in Tomas Morato Branch to have my 2nd digital perm. They charge P3000 pesos for korean hair products in any length of hair and P5000 for L’oreal. The difference is that you can use the korean products if you have healthy, virgin hair. For my hair they recommended L’oreal products because I’ve told them I had a digi-perm last May 2008.

After 9hrs flight from Doha, Immediately went to SM Mall of Asia, to finish off my last session of upper lip laser Hair removal, then from MOA went to Tony & Jackey. After series of washing, putting hair products and digital perm machine. The complete procedure ended after 4hrs! Even if I’ve had 3 cups of coffee, I’m still so sleepy that time but I’m glad there is WiFi atleast there’s something for me to do. After that my family pick me up and had a dinner in Shangri-la Restaurant in West. Ave. Then back to Diamond Hotel for early morning wake up call for tomorrows’ flight. I’m so glad I had 4 Manila flight last November! =) * Dinner time @ Shangri-la with my dear family…

I was never a fan of huge bags, I’m more of a collector of cute & stylish little bags even if they are not practical choice because only quite few stuff will fit inside. But lately, I was thinking of having a Coach Travel Tote that’s more of functional than stylish. I want to have a classic style, quite simple, roomy inside with multiple pockets (for a change) plus it will match any color of my outfit and the print of my wallet. This Khaki Coach Travel Tote was definitely a perfect choice. It can carry my umbrella & water bottle while walking around Manhattan NY…

The smooth texture of the leather somewhat makes it look kind of plain, but the contrasting trims with zigzag topstitching adds to its overall design. The pleated detailing on the front looks fastened by the two gold tone safety pins, giving this a rich yet edgy finish. Hybrid silhouette with alternate shoulder strap for convertible satchel to shoulder bag functions. This Coach bag weighs in for a hefty $395 and is available in pink, black, brown and gray color you can choose from.

Coach handbags is established in 1941, over a century after the birth of another luxury brand Hermès, but it takes the similar logo. One is the Bonnie Canvas tote, and the other is Jeweled Canvas large tote, both are combinations of soft cotton twill, contrasting leather trim and graphic print. Inside zip pocket, cell phone and multifunction pockets, ring to clip an accessory or key fob are available for your convenience. While the second has a framed clasp and magnetic snap closure, outside front pockets with turn lock closure, outside back framed pocket, removable leather threaded chain-link strap, but their capacity is definitely not the same. * I saw this at Macy’s at $298.

Choosing the Color: Color is an important factor to consider for a handbag. You may want a handbag that will match your outfit, shoes or accessories. If you want a handbag for everyday wear, identify the colors that you usually wear so that you can coordinate. If you wear a lot of neutrals, you may want a neutral Coach handbag for day wear such as beige, brown, white or grey. For a night out or event, you may want a black handbag. Or if you want to make a statement and bring some change to your fashion, you can go for bold colors. The latest trends have come out with bright and even pastel colors for the spring collection. In fact, looking at the season is a great way to figure out what colors to choose if you want to be trendier.

Identifying the purpose: The first thing that you would have to take into consideration is identifying the purpose that your handbag will fulfill. In other words, what is this handbag for? Do you want a Coach handbag that is more casual for everyday wear or do you want one that is a bit more elegant for a night out? Many career women love Coach handbags for their classy professional style. Do you want something that you can put your entire life into or do you want a handbag that has a specific function? Once you narrow down the purpose of this next handbag, you can move on to other factors.

This Coach Scarf Print bag that I was holding can be worn over the shoulder or as messenger style good to use while shopping or touring the city. The bag lies flat for the most part, making it incredibly safe when traveling and it’s very fashionable.

This Coach Penelope Art Travelis another of the brand’s colorful creations. This gives you another option in purchasing a bag that will fit the season’s multicolor trend, or perhaps another addition to your seasonal collection. This bag obviously made of very chic and feminine hues that make this bag all the more appealing. The metallic trim all throughout this bag adds style and richness to it, making this classier and elegant. Of course, other than just being a stylish bag, this also shows practicality, which would probably make this as your favorite everyday carryall for the season. (Available at Coach Outlets for $698)

I received an invitation from Levi 19s Greenbelt last week that they will have 3 hours private SALE this day, MAY16 19 09 exclusively for members. I 19ve tried so hard to swap my Shanghai China flight but unfortunately, no one accepted it or the flight is not legal to swap. It took 10,000 pesos just to be a member of Levi 19s Loop club and here I am in Doha, just came back from Shanghai and I cannot use the privileges! Grrrr!

I began using eye cream when I started working. It’s been an important part of my skincare regime because I have sleeping disorder (I’m awake the whole night & sleeping during the day!) The eye area seems like the first area that aging can be seen obviously. If you’re a fan of moisturizers to keep your face supple & on a youthful glow include eye cream in your skincare regimen.

If I’m in a layover I’m using Clinique’s All about eyes rich, it’s in my vanity bag which I don’t remove in my suitcase that’s why. If I’m home I’m using Olay Eye Total effects. It has a good description in the label that says it gives a radiant glow and fights the 7 signs of aging all around the eye area. The Result is very minimal to me. I still have dark under eyes. So I tried other eye moisturizer along with Olay I’m also using Lancome D-Contraxol eye serum & Sometimes Lancome Renergie Eye Microlift. Whenever I feel like I also put St. Ives Eye & Face stress gel.

Tony & Jackey salon uses high quality Korean products and equipment – this is an all-Korean salon, as all their hair care products, hair color, and stylists are all Korean. They have Filipino assistants to help them shampoo and blowdry hair, but other than that, you will truly be beautified the Korean way.

They said the traditional perm in other salons will lasts for about three months, while digital perm will last for about six. My hair is naturally wavy and since there won’t be such a drastic difference in my hairstyle, I decided to give it a go. The whole process took 4 & half hours! I had a shampoo first then Sunny trimmed my hair for added layers so that the curls will fall more nicely. A pre-perming solution was applied to my hair, then a second solution was applied after 30-40 minutes.

To keep my curls shiny, I use Pantene all day curl mousse. I’m loyal to Pantene Hair Products. The product gives your hair definition & manageability. (I bought it for only $8) Use it in wet or damp hair. It’s not heavy,oily or sticky on the hair as if you didn’t put anything at all. I had my hair permed last May 2008 and until now august I still keep getting compliments about my new hair.

One day, I’ve seen a commercial about a skinny woman tells you how wonderful it is to fit into her old clothes again. They show a picture of how she used to look, so you can compare it to her current body state. Then they will tell you how you can get the body etc. I know I’m not fat but I’m not skinny either! Hehe! But I ate a lot! I crave sweets every hour of the day and I cannot resist it. So I’ve tried the slim-fast milk chocolate and really like it to help fulfill my chocolate cravings and it taste so good! I really like it! Did it work? It work for me. I could drink one when I was reading my morning email and wouldn’t need to eat anything until lunch but during lunch I still eat. I never skip meal & I snack in between. I never deprive myself from eating because when you deprive yourself you’ll just end up craving more food!
